I have got to say I really, REALLY loved this one! It was just so refreshing seeing the  kids work together so well this film and our new enemy using fear and division as a weapon. I don't want to say this is my favourite one until I've seen them all but dang. Enjoy :)

FULL REACTION - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Enjoy watching along with me the full-length reaction.

Yesss Luna has arrived! 🙌 I adore her. The absolute character growth from everyone in this film is my favorite…it is so refreshing to see Ron in his element as that loyal friend. This is definitely top 3 in the series for me. I love stories that touch on light vs. dark…and this series is brilliant at it.

John Hales

This is one of my favourites. Love Luna. Love the twins leaving in a blaze of glory and Dolores Umbridge is one of the best villainess in the whole franchise. A truly wicked witch. Loving watching these with you Oscar. This and Friends are the high light of my week.

I haven't watched this reaction yet, but kudos for plowing through the series with gusto!

Daniel Radcliffe (born 1989) was 12 years old when the first movie came out in 2001 and he was playing 11 years old. By the time this movie was released in 2007, he was 18 playing a 15 year old in his fifth year at Hogwarts. Rupert Grint (Ron) is one year older than Daniel, born 1988 and Emma (Hermione) is one year younger than Daniel born in 1990. You are lucky that you can watch the movies back to back, most of us had to wait years between movies. Okay, I’m gonna get superficial for a moment. I actually prefer Harry, Ron and the twins with longer hair like in the last movie. I don’t particularly like Harry’s hair this short. Oscar. If you’ve see Game of Thrones, you’ll recognize the witch from the beginning of the movie who changes her hair color, to the wildling who is taken in by the Starks and takes care of Bran and Rickon when they leave Winterfell. I can’t remember her name and if you haven’t seen that show, then I highly recommend it.

OotP introduces us to the sweetest character, Luna, and the most despicable one, Umbridge. Brilliantly portrayed by Imelda Staunton. She gave it her all as Umbridge and, even though I hate the character so much, it's one of the best performances in the series imo. I remember when this one came out, when Sirius died, I was sad for days. Poor Harry 😔 You're spoiling us with all these reactions, Oscar! I'm so happy you're enjoying each movie and that you're so invested in them now. It's a pleasure to watch along with you!

Imelda Staunton doesn't get enough credit for her portrayal of one of the most despicable characters on film. I get chills even when I see her in something else. Stephen King himself said that Umbridge was the greatest villain since Hannibal Lecter. Also, a a cat lover I am very offended. While this is the longest book, the film is the second shortest. Mrs. Figg, Harry's neighbour, is revealed to be a Squib, which is a non-magical person who is born with at least one magical parent (kind of the opposite of Muggles). Filch is also a Squib. The revelation that Umbridge was the one who sent the dementors that attacked Harry and Dudley is cut from the film. Quidditch is entirely cut from the film. Kreacher the house-elf has a bigger part in the book. Dobby helps Harry discover the Room of Requirement, not Neville (it is also Dobby who gives Harry the Gillyweed in Goblet of Fire instead of Neville). Harry, Ron, and Hermione meet Neville's parents, who were tortured into insanity by Bellatrix, at St. Mungo's Hospital. They also see Gilderoy Lockhart who's memory is still severely damaged. The memory that Harry sees of his dad bullying Snape is longer and more detailed in the book. It's actually about Lily ending her friendship with Snape after he called her a Mudblood. So while James was still an asshole he was actually defending Lily. It's revealed that Professor Trelawney's prophecy about "The Chosen One" could have been about Neville. And Dumbledore explains the real reason Harry has to stay with the Dursleys: When Lily offered her own life to Voldemort in exchange for Harry’s she invoked an ancient and powerful spell in which her blood serves as protection for Harry against Voldemort. As her sister, Petunia, is her closest blood relative, Harry is protected as long as he stays where she stays until the age of 17. Harry's behaviour towards Cho in the film kinda pissed me off. In the book, they actually started a relationship and breaking up was a mutual decision. Cho was not tortured by Umbridge and forced to reveal, AGAINST HER WILL, where Dumbledore's Army was practising. It was Cho's friend Marietta Edgecombe who WILLINGLY leaked information to Umbridge. Btw in the scene where Harry tells Ron and Hermione about the kiss their laughing was improvised. J.K. Rowling said that Harry wouldn't have remembered his parents' death clearly enough because of him being just a baby at the time, but, unlike in the book, in the first film he sees Quirrell die. Because of this, he should've been able to see the Thestrals from his second year, but Thestrals hadn't been mentioned in the books at the time so the filmmakers wouldn't have known about the potential continuity error. I have watched this film so many times but I never realised that the courtroom looks like owl's eyes from above! That's an interesting point you made about the ministry watching them like an owl. Beautiful note: Evanna Lynch had written a letter to J.K. Rowling about her struggles with anorexia before being cast as Luna Lovegood. And if you're into some behind the scenes gossip: Emma Thompson (Trelawney) and Kenneth Branagh (Lockhart) were married but he left her for Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix), though years before. So if you've seen Love Actually then THAT moment hits you even harder.

You know what they say... "A Potter a day keeps the spoilers away." Just kidding! The Harry Potter fandom is very serious when it comes to not spoiling stuff for first-time watchers and we pride ourselves on that!!! And dude, you need sleep! I sound like my own mom yelling at me to sleep when I stayed up all night reading the fifth book after staying in line to buy it the day it came out. You were still super-sharp and attentive to the details throughout the movie though, so I don't think it affects your experience too much. (You did seem to miss a couple of lines of dialogue when it was happening in the background at a lower volume and/or overlapped with other dialogue.) Still, please take my advice and make sure you are well-rested when you sit down to watch the final (eighth) film, okay? For a while now, this has been my favourite Harry Potter film of the entire series. (It wasn't always so only because of the choices that were made in terms of which parts of the book to leave out and how different some of the scenes were from the way things happened in the book.) It holds a special place in my heart also because it is the first Harry Potter film that I saw in theaters outside India, 16 years ago. It was during the summer of 2007 in an IMAX theater in a town on the outskirts of the Boston area in Massachusetts. About 20 minutes of the last act of the film was in 3D and the audience was asked to put on the 3D glasses right before Ginny cast her powerful "Reducto!" spell that destroyed the Hall of Prophecies. I got goosebumps as I watched all those shelves of prophecies come crashing down (seemingly right towards me) one after the other! For me, Imelda Staunton as Dolores Umbridge stole the show. Her acting was impeccable and I would even go so far as to say her performance is in the top three for me (if not the top) across the entire series. Yes, Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix is awesome too, but as far as this film is concerned, Imelda's the clear winner! I am guessing that you are (or have just finished) watching the sixth film as I am typing this long essay. But don't worry though, you can read on even if you haven't seen the sixth film. Everything below only concerns information that is revealed up to the fifth movie (and a bit of the fifth book). "Mid-30's is boiling hot for them? Come to Australia, mate!" Yeah, or India! "Is he the age he's portraying?" During the first film, Emma was 10, two years younger than Hermione (12); Rupert was 12, a year older than Ron (11); and Daniel was 11, about the same age as Harry (11). By this film, Emma was 16, about the same age as Hermione (16); Rupert was 18, three years older than Ron (15), and Daniel was 17, two years older than Harry (15). If you're curious to know the biggest age difference between actor and character, that would be Dumbledore. During this film, Dumbledore was 115 years old, whereas the actor Michael was just 67. In comparison, Voldemort was 71 and the actor Ralph was 44. "I'm guessing people can't see them?" Yes, in the books, Moody performs a disillusionment charm which camouflages you like a chameleon, so you blend into the background. "I bet at this point in his life he probably reminds them of his father, right?" Your question was answered a few times. Of course, towards the beginning (shortly before you asked this question) when Molly Weasley tells Sirius "He's not James". And towards the end of the movie when Sirius called him James right before... well... And that was the last thing he said to Harry. It's also answered indirectly when you see how much more hostile Snape's behavior towards Harry has gotten from the last movie to this one - because Harry reminds Snape so much more of his ex-bully, triggering all that trauma. "Lucius. He was literally there with Harry. Did Harry see it?" Yes, he did. And at the end of the fourth book, he tries to tell the minister that Lucius (and others like Draco's friends' dads (Crabbe Senior and Goyle Senior) were there) but he didn't believe him. "Oh God, I don't like her!" (Dolores Umbridge at Harry's disciplinary hearing) This is one of those cases where you were 100% right in judging the book by its cover! When Harry snapped at Ron (during their first night back at Hogwarts), went to bed, and then woke up from his nightmare, Ron was still awake, sitting up in his bed across from Harry and looking at him with so much concern and helplessness. I've been in a few situations like that where I'm seeing my friend struggle but I have no idea what to do or how to help. My heart went out to Ron in that moment. I feel like it would be fun to turn your full-length reactions into a drinking game where you drink every time you say "Far out" or "Oh boy" (or stifle a yawn). "Wow, she's so wise!" It should come as no surprise to you then, that Luna is a Ravenclaw. (And so is Cho.) Professor Trelawney: "Sixteen years I've lived and taught here. Hogwarts is my home." It's true, Sybill Trelawney has been at Hogwarts for 16 years, essentially since around the time Hermione was born (and shortly before Harry himself was born), if you remember the characters' ages I mentioned a few paragraphs ago! "That was really subtle but I liked it." (Hermione saying Voldemort's name) It was really subtle and you are one of the few reactors that I've seen pick up on that. Turns out you're very attentive even when you're half asleep! (I hope it's okay to tease you a bit - it's all good fun, yeah? I watched your 10K thank you video and I know how busy your life is with juggling your part-time job and the channel videos. Not to mention planning/preparing for the move.) "Oh, did you see Ginny's face there? A hint of jealousy!" (and later also after Harry's last lesson before Christmas) Oh yeah, she's had a crush on Harry since the summer after first year! "Really? For real?" (when you saw the mistletoe) It's the room of requirement, remember? It wouldn't have shown up unless both Harry and Cho weren't already thinking about kissing! Regarding Harry's private Occlumency lessons with Snape, buckle up for a rant. Now, in the fourth and fifth books, Harry has always been suspicious about Snape ever since he learned that he used to be a Death Eater when he was in Dumbledore's Pensieve (a rare and powerful magical item used to store and review memories) and witnessed Igor Karkaroff's testimony. (You briefly suspected Snape too, didn't you, during the last film? Maybe you still do a bit?) In the fifth book, between these lessons, Harry wondered whether Snape was actually making it easier for Voldemort to penetrate his mind by constantly invading it with the pretext of helping him overcome it. Harry hated Snape so much because of the way he treated him and could never trust him, even after he found out that Snape was in the Order (and so Dumbledore certainly trusted him enough). And we (the audience) know that time and time again, Snape has proved himself to be faithful to Dumbledore - saving Harry from Quirrel in his first quidditch match (remember the one where he almost swallowed the snitch instead of catching it in his hand), protecting him from Sirius (before finding out he had been framed) and Lupin (in werewolf form) in the third film, remaining by Dumbledore's side at Hogwarts instead of answering Voldemort's summons in the fourth film, and in this one, lying to Umbridge that he was out of Veritaserum (the truth potion) and then alerting the rest of the Order after deciphering Harry's coded message about Padfoot (Sirius). Harry's hatred for Snape blinded him so much that he even forgot that Snape was part of the Order and that he could have gone to him during an emergency instead of risking getting caught in Umbridge's office, e.g., after he saw that (fake) vision of Sirius being tortured by Voldemort. (In the book, no other member of the Order was approachable at Hogwarts at that time, for some reason or the other and Harry, forgetting all about Snape, thinks he has no choice but to use the fireplace in Umbridge's own office to contact someone in the Order. (All other fireplaces at Hogwarts were under close surveillance by the ministry.) Dumbledore tells Harry at the end of the fifth book that he had been wrong for letting Snape teach Harry Occlumency (knowing how much Snape hated Harry's father and still thinking that he would be able to overcome those feelings) and that if he had taught Harry himself, maybe Harry would have had a better chance at actually mastering the skill and could have effectively blocked Voldemort's attempt to lure him to the Department of Mysteries. And while we're on the subject, the book does give more details about Snape's memory that Harry found himself in when his shield charm ("Protego!") effectively held a mirror to Snape's spell ("Legilimens!"), including the dynamics between all four Marauders (Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, and James Potter, who often went by their nicknames Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, respectively). Even Harry's mother, Lily, makes an appearance in that memory. Also in the book, Harry is much more traumatized by his vision of Arthur Weasley's attack, where he "was" the snake. He wonders if he's the weapon "that Voldemort did not have last time", a danger to everyone around him, and could suddenly start attacking his best friends without even knowing it. And he withdraws even more from everyone and keeps to himself for a while after that incident (before Christmas and his conversation with Sirius). Even Ginny had to remind him at one point that he could have approached her for clarity about his visions and whether he was still in control during them, because who better to talk to about it than someone with personal experience being possessed by Voldemort to do things without her being aware that she was doing them? "That's kinda like the lesson Dumbledore was trying to teach him in Chamber of Secrets" Exactly! And boy, does Harry need to hear it a lot more! It's our choices and not our abilities that show what we truly are. "Did the death eaters do it to him?" No, some of the wounds were from his encounter with the giants, but the fresher wounds were from Grawp, his half-brother, whom Hagrid had to force to come back with him because it was no longer safe for him back there. You're right, that's why Neville was so visibly upset when (impostor) Moody demonstrated the Cruciatus Curse on that spider in the last film. Also in that film, while he was in Dumbledore's Pensieve, Harry learned from Igor Karkaroff's testimony that the Cruciatus curse was used to torture Neville's parents. (Barty Crouch Junior and Bellatrix Lestrange, among others, were involved in that gang torture event.) In the fourth book, when Harry returns to Dumbledore's office after the Pensieve scene, he asks Dumbledore whether Neville's parents were dead. Dumbledore replies that they were not dead, but insane ("a fate worse than death" as Sirius tells harry in this film) and that they were in a long-term residents' ward at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries and that Neville visits them with his grandmother during the holidays, but they do not recognize him. And Dumbledore asks Harry not to speak about Neville's parents to anybody else and that Neville has the right to let people know when he is ready. And Harry keeps the secret, even from Ron and Hermione. Then, in the fifth book, when the trio go to St. Mungo's to visit Mr. Weasley on Christmas day, they skip a floor and accidentally end up in the long-term residents' ward. They first find Gilderoy Lockhart there, who still hasn't recovered from the memory charm ("Obliviate!") that backfired on him at the end of the second movie. Soon after, they encounter Neville visiting his parents with his grandmother. There is a brief interaction between Neville and his mom that is just heart-wrenching, and I quote this part from the book (here, "Mrs. Longbottom" refers to Neville's grandmother): ***Neville's mother had come edging down the ward in her nightdress. She did not seem to want to speak, or perhaps she was not able to, but she made timid motions toward Neville, holding something in her outstretched hand. "Again?" said Mrs. Longbottom, sounding slightly weary. "Very well, Alice dear, very well - Neville, take it, whatever it is..." But Neville had already stretched out his hand, into which his mother dropped an empty Drooble's Blowing Gum wrapper. "Very nice, dear," said Neville's grandmother in a falsely cheery voice, patting his mother on the shoulder. But Neville said quietly, "Thanks Mum." "Well, we'd better get back," sighed Mrs. Longbottom, drawing on her long green gloves. "Very nice to have met you all. Neville, put that wrapper in the bin, she must have given you enough of them to paper your bedroom by now..." But as they left, Harry was sure he saw Neville slip the wrapper into his pocket.*** I wish this scene was kept in the film! I don't know if you recognized him, but it was Percy Weasley (Ron and Fred and George's elder brother) who you saw as Fudge's junior assistant accompanying him in some of the newspaper scenes and also in Dumbledore's office when he was accused of conspiracy and sedition. I don't know if you recall that he was Head Boy of Hogwarts in the third movie, at the end of which he graduated from Hogwarts. There are more details in the book about how his career ambition clouds his judgment and he slowly becomes more estranged from his family as he chooses the ministry's side over Harry's. "Oh, that was so cool! He's such a badass!" (Dumbledore escaping with the help of his phoenix Fawkes.) Well, all I can say to you is, YOU JUST WAIT! (And yes, I stand by this statement knowing you've seen him duel Voldemort at the end of this film.) "Someone needs to hold that ladder" (when Filch is dangerously nailing yet another decree to the wall while atop a tall teetering ladder) To that, I say: "or not." Hagrid telling the trio about Grawp, "I'm the only family he's got" sharply brought to my mind what Harry would soon tell Hermione about Sirius, "he's the only family I've got left". "So, I'm guessing they share the same gene that makes them big?" Well, yeah. They are half-brothers. Hagrid is a half-giant. Human father, giantess mother. (Now, the fandom has invariably spent countless hours debating how exactly a human male and a giantess female could have mated, which I won't get into here. At the very least, it seems settled that it couldn’t have been the other way round, i.e., giant father and human mother, because of the obvious issue that the male giant's er... "member" would have been too big for... well, you get the point.) When the Weasley twins wreaked havoc during the Charms OWL examination, with the fireworks and the dragon chasing Umbridge, I was sure that you would make another Lord of the Rings reference. C'mon, mate, you missed a great opportunity there! If this doesn’t convince you that you need more rest, I don’t know what will! :P "I'm just worried about the consequences, though." There were none. You heard them renouncing academia just a few minutes before this scene. Fred and George escaped Hogwarts on their brooms before they could be expelled or tortured. At the end of the last film, in the book, Harry had generously given them his entire winnings from the Triwizard Tournament, and their plan is to invest in a joke shop in Diagon Alley - what a great idea! The scene where the gang is riding thestrals to the Ministry of Magic is actually a bit funnier than it should be in that serious moment, because only Harry, Luna, and Neville (who had seen his grandfather die) can actually see them! For the others, it would have been a truly terrifying ride on something they couldn't even see. (In the book, Harry, Luna, and Neville end up helping the others mount and dismount them.) I am not sure if you recognized the voice behind the prophecy. It should have sounded similar to another prophecy you heard in the third film. According to Dumbledore, these were the only two real predictions made by Sybill Trelawney throughout her entire career. "It's crazy they're actually doing well against death eaters." Well, the death-eaters were "pulling their punches", so to speak, because the prophecy is fragile and they didn't want to risk accidentally breaking it and suffering Voldemort's wrath. (I realize that this logic should only apply to Harry, but maybe they just wanted to be safe in case the prophecy was being passed around among everyone.) Even when Harry chased after Bellatrix, filled with hate and anger, note that he chose to attempt the torture curse ("Crucio") rather than the instant death curse ("Avada Kedavra") and we quickly find out that he didn't really mean it. This is a testament to Harry's resilience to evil even when most first-time viewers of this film would have gladly permitted Harry to torture Bellatrix right then and there. ("It is our choices that show what we truly are.") Up until this film, this is the one and only time that Harry has ever used one of the three Unforgivable curses. Of course, his unpracticed first-time attempt at the Cruciatus curse did nothing more than knock Bellatrix off her feet. Voldemort, who had just arrived, seized on this opportunity to turn Harry "to the dark side", so to speak, but it simply didn't work. When Harry tells Dumbledore later that it's his fault, he definitely feels responsible for yet another death. (Yes, he felt responsible for Cedric's death because he's the one who insisted that they should take the Triwizard Cup together when Cedric urged Harry to take it on his own. You know, "moral fiber" and all that.) "Less tempted?" This is explained better in the book. Basically, Dumbledore's biggest mistake throughout this film was that he thought that, by distancing himself from Harry, he was protecting Harry by giving Voldemort no reason to want to enter Harry's mind and manipulate/misdirect his thoughts. He thought that if Voldemort ever realized that their relationship was or had ever been closer than that of headmaster and pupil, he would seize his chance to use Harry as a means to spy on Dumbledore. He owns up to it as "an old man's mistake". Even Dumbledore makes mistakes, and he would be the first one to admit that. "I mean, I feel like Voldemort would justify his reason the same way." Yeah, that answer was lame. There were so many other acceptable ones, including yours. Noses, for example, would have also been a great answer. I agree with you wholeheartedly that the duel between Dumbledore and Voldemort was brilliantly filmed, right down to the sound design. You won't believe me when I tell you it is 100 times more stupendous in the book. Just to give you a small teaser: Voldemort tries to use the killing curse once at Harry and a few times at Dumbledore. And each time, Dumbledore was able to evade it indirectly by using the golden statues in the fountain (there is no way to block the Avada Kedavra directly using magic) while simultaneously ensuring that Harry stayed protected and was forced away from the fight and towards the wall, against his will (because of course Harry wanted to help Dumbledore and fight alongside him). Even Fawkes, Dumbledore's loyal phoenix, protected his master by "swallowing" one of the Avada Kedavra spells. (A phoenix just bursts into flame when it dies and is immediately reborn from the ashes, like you saw happen in Dumbledore's office in the second film, so that's exactly what happened to Fawkes when he took the killing curse aimed at Dumbledore.) "It just shows how brilliant those two wizards are, both evil and good." Yes, it is very important to acknowledge that evil can be brilliant too! When you said this, it was a nice throwback to the first film, when Ollivander (the wand-maker) tells Harry after explaining that the phoenix tail feathers in both Harry's wand and Voldemort's wand came from the same phoenix (revealed to be Fawkes in the fourth book): "The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter. It's not always clear why... But, I think it is clear that we can expect great things from you. After all, He Who Must Not Be Named did great things – terrible, yes, but great."

Thanks for all this info. Yeah Im usually super well rested but it’s still early which is why I yawn a fair amount. That time of the day though is actually when I’m most switched on. Seeing the 6th tomorrow!!

Ludwvin Martinez

The wizard battle in the Ministry of Magic is my favorite part of all the books. As great as it looked on screen, it didn't do the book full justice.

Kru Timmy

Loving watching these with you

Kru Timmy

Watching this again, I realized you made another good observation. In THIS installment they did a much better job at making Ron's character more normal, stronger and real. For much of the series, he is reduced to comic relief - silly overblown fear and confusion, unintelligent and not the way his character is written in the books. They did pretty well with him in Sorcerer's Stone, Order of the Phoenix and the finale.

KJ

This is my favorite movie! Luna, teacher Harry, Sirius and Harry's relationship... You can really see how much the actors have grown and improved their craft. All of it is so good. I like to think of Luna as my spirit animal. Love her!!!

yasna gonzalez sanchez

I know you probably won't see this comment but a geek fact from the books is that once you are pass the major advance level of magic like The professors, a wizard can create their own spells and potions .. and I found that soo cool because imagine that once you focus in one career or profession you can go and create and improve your work so there is literally no limits. Examples of these are Dumbludore spells of course, and Snape (who is also a master at Potions and duel)
